Atlantis Double Stage 13600 Litre Side-by-Side Washdown Separator
The Double Stage 16800 Litre Inline Washdown Separator is a high-capacity underground wastewater treatment system designed for gantry wash systems, HGV and truck wash facilities, quarry wheel washes and other high-flow commercial washdown applications. Featuring a two-stage inline separation process, it efficiently removes silt, sediment, oils and hydrocarbons from contaminated wash water before it is discharged into the foul drainage system.
Manufactured in the UK from high-strength rotationally moulded polyethylene (HDPE), this separator combines outstanding durability with a lightweight design for easier transportation and installation. Its shallow dig profile reduces excavation requirements, making it particularly well suited to sites with restricted installation depths or higher groundwater levels.
Offering an impressive 16,800-litre capacity and a 100 litres per minute flow rate, this model is designed for demanding commercial and industrial wash facilities that generate significant volumes of contaminated wash water. The inline configuration provides a streamlined installation while the two-stage treatment process delivers improved separation efficiency for long-term environmental protection.
How Does a Double Stage Washdown Separator Work?
Wash water first enters the primary chamber, where heavier materials such as mud, grit and silt naturally settle. The partially treated water then flows into a second chamber, providing additional separation of finer sediments and hydrocarbons before cleaner water exits the system.
This two-stage process improves treatment efficiency, making it particularly suitable for commercial sites where higher volumes of contaminated wash water are generated.
